Reason magazine is a leading libertarian magazine from the Reason Foundation.
Reason, founded in 1968, is the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets". It covers politics, culture, and ideas through a mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews. Reason takes a somewhat more popular approach to libertarianism than its fellow libertarian journal Liberty.
Nick Gillespie has been the magazine's Editor-in-Chief since 2000. Other writers include Charles Paul Freund, Jacob Sullum, Jesse Walker, Brian Doherty, Ronald Bailey, Matt Welch, Tim Cavanaugh, Julian Sanchez, Kerry Howley, Cathy Young, Jonathan Rauch, and cartoonist Peter Bagge.
Erik Spiekermann, the inventor of the typeface Meta, made a redesign of Reason in 2001, aiming for a look "cleaner, more modern, making use of the Meta typeface throughout".
The magazine now has a circulation of around 60,000. In addition, since December of 2002 the magazine's website has hosted a popular blog, Hit and Run, with many Reason writers as contributors.
